Teachers Federation

Earlier this year a group of people mostly teachers and students, decided to meet regularly to discuss aspects of the Education System. Many felt that a federation of teachers from all areas of the system could help to break down the artificial barriers between the pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. However it was decided that the interests of education could best be served if the organisation, at this stage, remained as free and open as possible. So there is no formal structure. There are two groups in Wellington. Members range from kindergarten teachers to University lecturers. All are on a equal footing. Each group arranges its own finance and decides what it will publish. Students and members of the public are welcome to attend (all human beings are teachers of some sort or another.) If you are in forested in joining or forming a group please write to NZTF c/o P.O. Box 3084, Wellington
